Question

On Windows 7 Python 3.2, the following:

print(int(math.ceil(24/10)))

gives me ‘3’ as expected.

On Windows Server with Active Python 2.5, it gives me ‘2’.

What is the issue here and how can I solve it?

Here’s my original code:

number_of_pages = int(math.ceil(number_of_rows/number_of_rows_per_page))

Thanks,

Barry

Answer 1

Python 2.x uses truncating disivion, so the answer to 24/10 is 2. The ceil of 2 is still 2.

The fix is to convert one of the operands to float:

print(int(math.ceil(24.0/10)))
